Talk:IWF reverses censorship of Wikipedia

The ban was lifted. http://www.iwf.org.uk/media/news.251.htm TheDJ (talk) 19:22, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, it seems that some German filters will be adding the image. http://www.haz.de/newsroom/medien/art663,751927 I'm not clear on the details. Some of the details are a tad too technical for my 'limited' German skills. TheDJ (talk) 19:22, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw. I have updated the article. Anonymous101talk 19:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the protocol is for updating source templates post-archiving (ping ) but the press release is no longer available at the URL given - it is at https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_releases/Censorship_of_WP_in_the_UK_Dec_2008.
